I wanta get out of Egypt.

We have had nearly 3 weeks of Christmas vacation. It began with the lice. Sarah got lice at kindergarten and gave it to me, Juergen, Jessica and Nicole. We washed our heads, hair brushes, and bedding etc. It took days to fight the little beasts. So far I think we won that battle. Then Juergen got us all sick...real sick! I sweat so badly from fever I had to change my pj's 3 times. So I washed my bed sheets again. Now Jessica’s nose is bleeding. I woke up this morning to find her looking like a victim in a head on collision! Her nose had bleed in the night. Her hair was full of blood. I gave her a shower and had to through her pillow, blanket, sheets and cloths in the bath tub to soak in cold water (cold water gets out blood). I'm starting to ask myself what is up! I had so many things I would have rather done this vacation ...but loads and loads of laundry! God please...I want to get out of Egypt!!! Seriously, please pray for Jessica’s nose. It stops bleeding for a time, then starts bleeding again. I do not want surgery but we have had to get surgery for this same issue two times before.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom. This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading. I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth. Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help. But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen. Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program . That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees. She will be able to use it for an entire year. But I expect her to become a very good reader. And what a great gift to give to any child! She will have a lifetime love for books. Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda. And many of these women have never attended school. So she plans to use these ideas to h...

Happy Birthday to Jessica

Today Nicole and I took Jessica shopping. She turns 22 years old tomorrow. She has grown over the past year. She now likes her disabled workshop. And she has begun to learn to write again on the computer. It is a slow process, but maybe she can write independently in the next 5 years. Her teacher is wonderful. We are very blessed to have her help! If I stopped and thought about what Jessica might be doing if she was healthy, it could break my heart. Birthdays should be happy, but when your child is disabled it's always bitter sweet. Bitter because of the milestones that were never met, and sweet because of the person that is still very valuable and wonderful. But I'm sure everyone feels bitter sweet about something in your life. Life is never only sweet. For me it is much better to fix my eyes on what is there and let go of what I hoped for...what every parent hopes for. Jess bought a new book, 3 DVD's and a Fanta. I also took her to McDonalds because that is ...
